Relaxing Riverside Camping in my Bronco

[@DaveMichael42]

Literally sent this to my GF who had a rough day. I told her to sit in the tub and watch this! Very relaxing ASMR and some epic cinematography. Well done sir

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

That’s awesome to hear! I’m glad you liked it. Hopefully she did too!

[@crittgolden]

Nothing like being a father. What a handsome you man you have. One day, your travels will be even better when he wants to tag along. Best days of your life brother.... soak them up.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you! I love that little gremlin. He’ll be joining me very soon

[@VictorVlogsPDX]

What an amazing spot! Love that someone carved that old stump into a grizzly old mountain man. My kids have reached adulthood and my wife and I are about to make some HUGE life changes. It will allow me to fulfill some unrealized dreams and make more content and get out and sooth my soul. Keep up the amazing work, you are a major inspiration. 👊

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Haha yeah I love the gnome in the stump! It kept me company! Good for you though man, excited for you to pivot and invest more in what you love

[@Blackandblueoffroad]

Good for you. Family is the absolute most important thing in life. What a great channel you have

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you so much!

[@helodriver20]

Great B roll. I don’t think people realize how much work, but how important b roll is. 🤙🏻❤️🇺🇸

[@collierda5th1]

Brotha I really appreciate the peaceful B-roll.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you. Felt like a nice change of pace

[@coffee-dogg]

What a beautiful spot, a damp paper towel or napkin under the cutting board will stop it from sliding around or twisting when you use it. perfect priorities. good job dad.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Great tip! Thanks!

[@WheretoNextOverland]

Good stuff! This one felt like a 'classic' OTG video (in the best way). Video may not have ended the way you planned, but the candid behind the scenes stuff with the kiddo really works for you!

[@Crumb_Trails]

Man! What I wouldn't give for some time in my life to get out there and find some remote areas like you do. 7 more years on the grind and I hope to have the time.

[@mentally.retired]

Love it. I've been thinking about it myself and have come to realize that although he makes this stuff look easy, it's very intentional. He prioritizes going out (and making these videos...). Folks like you and me need to do the same. I personally am cutting my expenses down to reclaim my time so I can prioritize things like this. Good luck brother!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

I hope the time flys for you man! In the mean time, take any opportunity you have to get out, even if it’s an afternoon

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Being in nature and being creative are the things I love and what kinda define me as a person. I’m extremely grateful that I am able to be doing this right now and hope you get there as well! Sounds like you’re on a good path!

[@RubiconV]

I was just talking about heading back to this area with the wife over last weekend. That’s just so ironic. I love the cascades. Sorry about the sick son but family first. Overlanding will be there.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

This is an annual thing for me, if not more. I absolutely love this area

[@gyels2011]

You guys are doing that I have been dreaming of doing. Great video! Loved watching!

[@11MPRETHER55]

You were right where you needed to be. Great video little guy is getting big!!!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Man I know! It’s kinda crazy

[@DefiantOffroad]

I'm glad the youngin' was ok! Great video nonetheless. I'm truly envious of your camera and editing skills!

[@RoamRevelation]

Solid location! Great place to just soak it all in and leave everything behind!

[@erichughes9098]

Hey David Pro tip if you put a wet towel or a couple wet paper towels under your cutting board, it’ll keep it from moving around. Hopefully I’ll run into you at OverlandExpo Pacific

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Dude I didn’t even notice it moving around. Been doing it that way my whole life lol. You just change my world lol. I’ll be there Saturday though! Come say hey if you see me

[@erichughes9098]

@@OFFTHEGRIND i’m enjoying the happy hour right now.

[@larrybriggs2920]

No better calling than to be a Dad.😊

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Very true!

[@leemen]

I have the gama bags in the 392 and love them. That sunset time laps was so good. Sick kids are never fun but it was nice you were close enough to come home.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Yeah dude those bags are awesome! And thanks! I’m really trying to get more in to Timelapse’s.

[@dr.eduardosales7736]

Davi, you are my inspiration, I'm from Brazil and congratulations on the videos, a big hug...

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thanks so much!

[@chopper6027]

Great video, family first!

[@Garcias_garage724]

I recognize that area. One of my favorite places for a quiet unplugged weekend

[@Garcias_garage724]

If you ever want company for a weekend trip and see some more hidden stuff around there feel free to reach out there is alot of history up in that area.

[@JV-wp8yq]

Where is this at? Do you ever plan a group trip?

[@Garcias_garage724]

@JV-wp8yq I haven't done a group trip before but It would be pretty cool

[@NorthShoreBronco]

Nice Axe! and your a great dad! Nice and relaxing video.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thanks buddy! Yeah that axe is freakin amazing. Thanks for the rec!

[@keithfitterer6899]

Another great video and that looked like a great spot to do some fishing!👍👍It will be good to see that little guy tagging along in future videos! 😁😁

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Man I would love to do some fishing. I still need to get a pole. And little man will be on the channel a lot soon!

[@AngerManagementOverland]

Felt like I was there. Thank you!!! Needed that

[@wendelclements6448]

Great trip man glad to see the little is doing better Safe travels man

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

I’m glad I could be there for him. Thanks!

[@HighGroundByNightfall]

Such a relaxing video. I needed that. I need to learn how to slow down on the road some day.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

It’s important every once in a while. I love the long days of exploring, but being stationary for a bit is good as well

[@BigFishOverlanding]

That tree stump 😂 11:02

[@timaugustine-dirt_trippin]

Interesting that you used some vintage Wagner. Not many camp cook with cast iron anymore (I do). Nice video, again. Regards.

[@1markymark1]

Nice face in the tree stump where the deer was

[@doveadventures]

Sawing that long had me sweating over here 😂 Awesome video brotha!

[@OLNPHOTO]

I think that same deer walked through my campsite also!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Were you up there too??

[@TheJourneySoFar1966]

Great video! Just subscribed after seeing you with Shaun. Gonna check out all your vids now, lol. Love the Bronco!!!

[@jimprice7638]

Is it me, or in the scene where the deer crosses the camp, that tree stump on the left looks like father time chewing on a twig. LOL

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Hahahaha it looked like a gnome smoking a stogey to me

[@darrinwi]

So, love your channel, I have a 2023 bronco 2 door . I noticed the Brazilian flag 🇧🇷.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you!

Not bad right!?

[@BuckinLifeoffroad]

Lol. Paul Bunyan fast chopping skills 😂 love it. I also bet you were pretending to be Arnold Schwarzenegger in Commando carrying that log. I know that's what I would have been thinking haha

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Don’t hate me, but I’ve never seen that movie… what I was thinking was how did I manage to place this so there is a sharp limb in my back?? lol

[@TexaSteven]

I’m pretty hyped thru are available now for the Bronco, I used my set leftover from my previous Jeep, just crammed them into the spot and it’s works, they don’t stick out like they do on your video but still plan on getting a set for my Bronco. By the way any update videos coming out on your roof rack? Like have you had to go back and retighten any of the bolts and liked and dislikes about it do far. Considering getting one myself but waiting till thru come out with a bracket that will work with the new LC Titan 50” lightbar, was told by them it should be out in a month or so.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Dude I love them so far. Very under utilized at the moment, but they offer so much storage and I’m such a light packer it’s hard lol As for the rack, when I had a heavier tent, the front mount bolts would stretch and have to be re tightened. I had to replace those bolts a couple times (tent was 220 lbs). I would imagine with a lighter tent it would be fine, and I’ve also never had an issue with the ikamper skycamp mini. There’s still no other rack on the market that I would get over TrailRax

[@danhutchison9693]

Great great trip mate, I hope your little dude is feeling better. Such chill footage watching you cut that tree up and get your fire sorted (and where did you learn how to start a fire so easy)!! How’s your rig performing after the suspension lift? Thanks again for giving us always epic content and a great (bearded) smile every time! 😊🧔🏻‍♂️

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Haha I’ve been building fires for forever so it’s taken me many years to be okay at it lol. Witches hair is that moss that I used and it lights up so easily. But bushcraft channels are great to learn this type of stuff. Something I want to get in to more honestly! The rig is great! The suspension is freakin amazing!

[@danhutchison9693]

@@OFFTHEGRIND I think we will just stick to the fire bowl and a touch of diesel for actual fires 😂 I’m glad the rig is improved! We want to get our suspension done now the rooftop and canopy has been put on. It still has the stock-standard Fox suspension. We wanted a Bronco so bad but they don’t have them over here. Will look forward to your next video!

[@GoneInTheRockies]

I didn’t watch the entire video where you installed your new lift so my bad if you’ve already talked about it but…it looks like you gained zero additional uptravel with the new suspension. Any plans to really get some clearance in those wheel wells? Phenomenal campsite, btw.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

I was trying to find the right spring seat height for the front coils. They were initially way too much lift and now too little lol. It is still 1.5” of lift, but I also put 37s on so it probably doesn’t look like it. SINCE then, I have put the MRR kit on and it looks way better

[@GoneInTheRockies]

@@OFFTHEGRIND Ah, gotcha. I’ll be curious to hear your thoughts on the MRR suspension. I almost pulled the trigger on it but opted to go for the Fox DSC instead and am pretty happy with it.

[@Ontrail82]

My kinda shit bro 😎 It’s like what I do here in Minnesota, but on steroids lol

[@troybuiltadventures5481]

Nice camping video looks awesome there. Like your camping chair what brand is that? thanks.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you! Yeah this spot is one of my absolute favorites! The chair is from iceco and it is so comfortable. They also have cushions you can add to it which make it even better. Also OTG12 will save you 12% if you choose to give it a go

[@rass1288]

This is exactly the kind of camping I want to do! I’m very very local to you, pretty sure same county (I drive one of those black and white vehicles lol) How far did it take to get to where you were in this?? Would love to tag along sometime! I have a grand Cherokee trailhawk. Also, what was that coffee shop you like? I keep forgetting what it is. I need to check it out

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

This type of camping is a nice break from the typical “overland” trips. If you see me on the road while in the work car, just ignore me lol. Otherwise say what’s up!! This was about a 2.5 hour drive from my doorstep. And those trailhawks are pretty damn capable actually. And they look good!! I don’t recall a specific coffee shop to be honest. Was it in a video or something?

Are you worried about bears?

I'm in texas too. The closest places like this are probably new Mexico or Colorado, long drives, but worth it.

[@fulac1958]

Why would you cut off a branch 6-7 ft long rather than cut 16-18” pieces? Taking that back to camp and cutting it after the fact makes no sense..

By taking it back in a bigger chunk it saved me having to make multiple trips
